Having thoughts about queerplatonic zoro and sanji. Like they're the ultimate bro couple. They're completely comfortable around each other, hug and cuddle all the time, but swear up and down they aren't dating (because they aren't)

Like Sanji gets a girlfriend and she's jealous that Zoro gets more hugs than she does and she starts introducing them as "this is my boyfriend Sanji and this is Sanji's boyfriend Zoro" and Sanji's like "wtf we're not dating" and Zoro's like "we're a little dating"

Listen Queerplatonic Zoro x Sanji has my heart and I don't care if nobody else sees it.

(That's a lie I care a little)

Though uh, if aromantic peeps have any additions that would be great I've never really written qprs before

Zoro x Sanji QPR thoughts LET'S GO

(For anyone who doesn't know: QPR stands for "queerplatonic relationship" and is used to describe an intimate relationship where nobody involved has romantic feelings for one another)

It takes them a LONG TIME to actually talk about their relationship

It's not until wholecake Island that they both realize they actually don't want to leave each other

(Look, I haven't gotten to that arc yet, but from what I've heard it seems perfect for that)

Zoro is perfectly okay with Sanji dating anyone he likes, so long as he gets to be a part of Sanji's life

Zoro doesn't have any interest in dating

They're actually very physically affectionate once they actually work out their feelings. Lots of cuddling, lots of seeking out each other after a hard day

For a while Sanji thinks he's in love with Zoro

It's not until he thinks about what he wants in romance (someone he can worship) that he realizes his feelings for Zoro aren't romantic (he wants to be Zoro's partner)

Zoro considers himself "in love," but doesn't think about it long enough to realize it's not romantic love

He's just like, "Oh, I'm jealous of this girl who's gonna take away Sanji. Guess I'm in love." But he never wants to try anything traditionally associated with couples, so he doesn't do that, and thus it takes him a lot longer to realize his feelings aren't romantic

Sanji also has a lot of internalized queerphobia, which he has to get over in order to actually figure out the relationship

Zoro has no such issues

Their relationship is spent mostly in quality time together. Talking over plans, fighting bad guys, training, etc.

They're both very bad at talking about their feelings though, so even after they both realize they don't want to leave each other, it takes even LONGER for them to actually talk about it

Sanji starts the conversation when he gets a (new) girlfriend and Zoro starts acting jealous

"Look, I really like this girl, and I know you're jealous of her, but I want you to know I have no intention of leaving you. You are both very important to me, in very different ways."

"So you're in love with me too, stupid cook."

"Well- Yes, but not in the way I love- wait did you say too?"

"Yeah"

"How long has this been going on mosshead!?"

"A while. You're quite oblivious."

"Oblivious my ass"
